Relationships among suicidal ideation, involvement in bully–victim problems at school, and perceived social support were investigated with samples of adolescent students ( N = 1103 and N = 845) attending secondary school in South Australia. Results obtained from self‐reports and peer nomination procedures to identify bullies and victims indicated that involvement in bully—victim problems at school, especially for students with relatively little social support, was significantly related to degree of suicidal ideation.
